   I was able to compile compress 4.0 from prep.ai.mit.edu using SAS/Lattice
C 5.10 by simply commenting out the calls to chown and utime, safe enough I
think on a small machine.   It's worked on everything I've thrown at it so
far. It seems that the folks  at Lattice did a good job with their support
library.
